We're in that weird limbo state this week just waiting for things to get just a little bit bonkers but very exciting!

We are, without a doubt, counting down the days until we get the keys (Sunday for those of you keeping track!). After 2+ years it feels like it's taken forever to get here, but also like the day is hurtling towards us incredibly fast and we've not even finalised a paint colour yet!

This week is all about balance and prep. We're trying to get ahead on other work, make some decisions about fitments and colours, prep some meals for long days ahead... But also have a little down time before it all gets very busy!

This morning was spent following up on some calls, getting a bit of admin done and heading out for a (very very windy!) dog walk. Now time to settle down for some designing and some freelance work... Before home to cook, do the next coat on our paint sample swatches and then some reading in bed. 

Talking of reading, this absolutely stunning proof arrived this week, which as Emily is 50% of the way through On Wings of Blood, the timing of this arriving could not have been more perfect. Anyone else low key obsessed with Bloodwing Academy?! 

Is there a book or series that seemingly passed you by?

The End… and The Beginning.

A little post from Emily today...

Today marks the closing of a 16 year long chapter, half of which spent in one place with colleagues who became the most wonderful of friends. My last day working for NCC and my last day working as a full-time Landscape Architect.

It's a strange thing closing the door that you worked so hard to open but I wouldn't be who I am today without that journey.

So for now there are grateful goodbyes, deep breaths and a sense of finality.

But more than anything… there is excitement.

Because in 9 days, we collect the keys to our bookshop!

Just over a week until the dream we’ve carried for years becomes something real! With walls and shelves (many shelves!) and a door of its own to open.

A matter of days until we step fully into building Whisporia together.

Today we’re celebrating the only way that feels right, with delicious coffee and a croissant from (who are just down the road from our new shop 🥐☕).

A small, joyful beginning before a very big one.

Here’s to brave leaps.
Here’s to turning the page.
Here’s to building something magical...together.

Some keys open boxes, some open doors,
some open locks and some open stores 🗝️
But books are those keys that open so much more, granting you access to places you've never been before 📚

Sometimes the books just have a theme...

We couldn't resist pulling a little stack together for this photo! 📚🤭

Say hi in the comments, we’ve missed you and would love to catch up!

All set up and ready for tomorrow at !

We had a sneaky peep around before we left at all the incredible publisher and vendor stands - truly looks like it’s going to be an incredible weekend, plus so many amazing authors appearing too!

For now though we are having some much needed dinner and an early-ish night before the fun begins!



Will we see you this weekend?

It's weekend!

Hi, if you've not met us before we're Em & Paul, the pair behind Whisporia and The Indie Bookshop Bus.

If you're coming to YALC or Comic Con come and say hi!

We're stand 46-47 in the YALC zone and have a stall absolutely full of bookish magic including some new discounts and multibuy savings!

If you visit please do introduce yourself, we're rubbish with faces and names/IG handles, but we love meeting you all and having a squish if you're a hugger!

Plus a free YALC themed bookstack sticker for all purchases (while stocks last) and we have our Stamp Rally exclusive stamp with us if you'd like to collect it in a notebook, book or on a piece of paper (no purchase necessary!)



(Photo from the wonderful SWPC event earlier this year, sneaks of YALC stand later today!)

We're popping up in lots of places over the last couple of months of 2025 and we would absolutely love to see you there!...

We're popping up in lots of places over the last couple of months of 2025 and we would absolutely love to see you there!

We will have a stand absolutely bursting at the seams with books, gifts and more...and perhaps even a few surprises! Do pop by and say hello if you can, it's so lovely when familiar or new faces come by!

If you're going to come along to an event and want to place an order for pick up just drop us a message and we can sort that - please give us as much notice as possible though!

We unfortunately won't be able to do advents for pick up just due to the scale of packing and shipping them, but we may have a few available on the day at the later events for last minute purchases!
